  • Patent number: 12202027
    Abstract: A method is provided for joining structures, where at least one of the components to be joined is individually plastically deformed in a radial press. A control unit for the radial press has a PLC machine controller and a BTLE communication module and a mobile terminal is associated. Mobile terminals are designed to communicate with a central server via a mobile data network, which central server is equipped with a pressing program memory. Configuration programs used to set up associated radial presses are stored on the mobile terminals. Each radial press is set up by means of the associated mobile terminal, specifically by configuration of the PLC machine controller by means of a specific pressing program in accordance with program-specific data retrieved from the central server for a particular lot. Within the lot, each individual radial deformation process is triggered by triggering means arranged on the radial press itself.

  • Patent number: 12130208
    Abstract: When producing a high-pressure hydraulic line, a connection fitting is attached to a multi-layer high-pressure hose having a reinforcing layer. A portion of a reinforced high-pressure hose and a connection fitting to be joined to it are provided. The connection fitting is placed onto the end portion of the high-pressure hose and a joining operation is carried out to form a sealed connection. The quality of the connection is determined by applying an electrical test signal to at least one connection of a testing arrangement having two connections. A first connection is electrically and/or magnetically coupled to the connection fitting and a second connection is contactlessly electrically and/or magnetically coupled to a reinforcing layer of the high-pressure hose. An electrical response signal is detected and the response signal is compared with a setpoint-value range stored in a memory of the testing arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10286620
    Abstract: A radial press is provided, the radial press having a frame structure, a pressing tool, a drive unit, and a press control. The pressing tool comprises a plurality of pressing elements which are disposed uniformly concentrically around a press axis and have pressing surfaces. During the appropriate activation of the drive unit, the pressing elements can be moved synchronously as required towards or away from the press axis. To this end, at least two measured value recorders, which are connected for signal transmission purposes to a comparator associated with the press control, are disposed on the pressing tool at positions spaced apart from one another in the direction of the press axis (A). When the comparative value, generated by the comparator, of the measured values provided by the measured value recorders exceeds a tolerance range stored in the press control, an activation of the signal output unit is triggered.
